  1. I'm not 100% sure, but Infiniti never offered Brembos on any package. Nissan 350z's have a package that includes Brembos...but not Infiniti. I may be wrong...but I might bet $5 on it.

    I'm not sure about the sedans. I drove a g35x (x = awd) as a loaner and it was pretty sweet. If I needed the room, I'd seriously consider the g35x. A guy I work with has the sedan (not sure if it's AWD). Today he was nervous about driving home...he said his tires were as bald as slicks...so, take that's for what it's worth.

  2. North side, best side.....just keep that in mind. Welcome

    If by "best side" you mean "best side to sit in traffic" yeah...i agree with Putty. Other than that, and being close to QS&L, north side sucks.

    Depending on your income, Dublin and New Albany are tops, IMO. Hilliard and Upper Arlington are nice as well. Don't move to Whitehall or Hilltop...unless you like crime.

  3. Sweet...I work on E. 5th Ave...and drive by that place all the time. The Mad Greek is a good place for lunch.

    As for where to live, there are lots of good places to live...even on the east side. Just don't live too close to your work. Whitehall is a dump (sorry). However, Bexley...I hear...is pretty nice, but expensive.

  4. Is it more the wide performance tires or the traction control sucks and it is completely sideways and such all the time?

    Hmmm, I'm guessing it's the tires. Like I said, I don't even attempt to drive it if the roads are covered. My front street is the last to melt and when I drive on this road at 5mph...I can feel it slipping as soon as I touch the pedal. I've seen other g35's on the road in bad weather...these ones have the smaller wheels (17 inches I believe). So I guess the wheels do make a difference.

  5. 2005-2006 G35 Coupe. Want 6MT, prefer the Sport Package and color choices are Charcoal Grey, Silver and Pearl White.

    Been researching as I cannot afford a new 07/08 G35 or G37 for my wife right now. I am not leasing so, buying outright. So, sub $30k is where I need to be.

    Anyone have any contacts on one similar as listed above, shoot me a PM and let me know...

    I bought an '06 leftover a year ago. Charcoal Gray, Sport Package, 18" wheels, automatic, bluetooth option, no navi. The car is fun to drive...but sucks in the snow. If the ground is covered, I leave it in the garage. I have summer performance tires...so maybe all-seasonal tires will perform better this time of year. Trunk is small...I barely squeezed two sets of golf clubs in it. The backseat can take a small child...but that's about it. Let me know if you have questions...

    Good luck.

  6. Last night I sprayed PB Blaster Penetrating Oil down both ends of the handlebars. I hacksawed one end, took a screwdriver and a hammer and pounded one out without issue. I looked at the damper and realized that only two rubber washers, one on each side, hold it in place. For the other end, I screwed the bar end back in and just gave it a good yank, and out it came. Kinda reminds me of my early high school years ;)

    Thanks to those who responded!

  7. I recently replaced my bent OEM handle bars for my ATV with new OEM handle bars. The original bars have weights/dampers in each end. After you slide the grip on, an additional bar end screws in to each damper. My questions are...

    Can I reuse these dampers?

    If so, after removing the bar ends and removing the original grips, how do I get the dampers out of the original bars and in to the new ones?

    I thought about taking a hacksaw to them...but there's gotta be a better way.

    Thanks in advance...

  8. Excuse? obviously you cant read because there was no excuses there, only true statements.

    I dont know anything about Sinner but Im guessing Putty will hand you your ass and as for me.. Im not a drag racer just like your not a track rider.

    Ya never know what will happen though..

    1. The first part was not a true statement, it was an opinion.

    2. The "as for me.. Im not a drag racer" that sounds like an excuse to me.

    3. What does me not being a track rider have to do with anything?

    4. What's up with you having other people, as you say, hand my ass to me? First it was R6Chic at Deal's gap. Now it's Putty on the drag strip. I know you like to "1-up" people all the time...but why use someone else to "1-up" me? When are YOU going to hand me my ass at Deal's gap or some drag strip? "So what you kicked my ass, my dad can kick your dad's ass!!!" Geez.

    5. And it is obvious that I can read...it's obvious that "your" not above 5th grade with your grammar and that "there was no excuses there". LOL.

  9. I dont know anything about Sinner but Im guessing Putty will hand you your ass and as for me.. Im not a drag racer just like your not a track rider.

    Ya never know what will happen though..

    Of course Putty will hand me my ass, I expected nothing else from you.

    I'm neither drag racer nor track rider...I was just looking for an excuse from you. Hell your Show Bike is faster than mine...so you should be anxious to beat me.

  10. Ours used to be like that until the "unlimited" was abused. Now it's all the same time. Those who think they are sick now weighs that against a vacation day and decides to bring their ass to work.

    if i had to use a vacation day today...my arse would've been at work. It's easy to sit at a desk all day and infect others...just so I can take an extra day off in the summer!

  11. You are the 1up king....add that...."king of 1up".

    All the same pool of time here....NOW....it's BS...

    We have different pools...vacation and sick pools. The sick pool is unlimited...so they claim. Maybe I won't go to work the month of January...just to see how 'unlimited' this pool is! :)

  12. Wow, this thread has to be the most popular thread that was ever created on OhioRiders. Congrats Putty!

    Anyway, I really don't have an opinion on this subject but I do have a similar story...

    I was having PC problems a few years ago and couldn't pinpoint it. I called a bunch of places from the yellow pages and everyone wanted to charge an arm/leg. Someone told me of a little PC shop on the left side of Micro Center on Bethel Road. I took my processor and motherboard there and wanted them to see if either/both were fried. The guy at the counter said he could test both for me for....ironically...$10 (no lie). Since I need this done (I didn't want to buy both if I didn't have to), I paid the $10. The guy takes my PC in to the back room...returns laughing in a few minutes. He said not only is the processor fried, the processor fried his motherboard. Here's the good part...he gave me my $10 back!!!

    Anyway, I think the employee that waited on Putty at HNW made up his own costs for the service and that he was going to pocket this money for lunch. I doubt anything costs an exact $10 or that there is a documented fee for removing 2 bolts/screws. So maybe the employee should be chastised and not the company?

    That's the beauty of a free marketplace, IMO. Somebody would pay $10 for this service...Putty wouldn't...and he didn't have to since he knows someone who would do it for free.

  13. I won the ultimate concert experience from the blitz. I was caller 9 on wednesday and got my name in a hat to be pulled. I went to Skullys last night for the party and they drew my name!!! IM FUCKING SYKED!
